If you do have a peanut allergy, you\u2019re going to have a bad time in Georgia<\/a>. Or, at the very least, feel extremely deprived. This is the land of peanuts\u2014and not those imitation peanuts in the bag with the peanut man in a top hat and monocle, either. These are real<\/i> peanuts.<\/p>\n

2. Apples? No Thanks!<\/h2>\n

An apple a day might keep the doctor away, but a Georgian peach keeps happiness in reach. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, I\u2019ll be here all night.<\/p>\n

3. Getting Stuck In Traffic With No Air Conditioning Is A Fate Worse Than Death For Georgians<\/h2>\n

Getting stuck anywhere without A\/C is a fate worse than death, really. In case you didn\u2019t know, Georgia gets hot. And not just your typical summer hot. Imagine if Satan ran a vent directly from his fiery furnace and opened it up over Atlanta<\/a>\u2014that\u2019s how hot it gets.<\/p>\n

4. Excessive Smog Warnings<\/h2>\n

Remember what life was like without smog on the horizon? Georgians don\u2019t. And the smog index and forecasts definitely don\u2019t let them forget, either.<\/p>\n

5. Anyone In A Rush Is Going To Be Out Of Luck In Georgia<\/h2>\n

Georgia is a slow-paced, laid back place and anyone who thinks they\u2019re going to change that will learn the hard way. Georgians like life the way it is and they\u2019re not changing for anybody.<\/p>\n

6. Georgians Don\u2019t Have Time To Define Directions<\/h2>\n

Every highway is The Highway.<\/p>\n

7. Keep The Redneck And Hillbilly Jokes In Mississippi<\/h2>\n

Set aside the fact that rednecks and hillbillies are two different things anyway, no one in Georgia finds either type of joke funny. They\u2019re played out, inaccurate, and insulting. Get a new punchline.<\/p>\n

OK, yes, Georgia is responsible for the Honey Boo Boo crew. Sorry about that. But the jokes still aren\u2019t funny.<\/p>\n

9. Being Rushed Is No Excuse For Subpar Takeout<\/h2>\n

If it\u2019s not from Zaxby\u2019s, it\u2019s not worthy.<\/p>\n

10. Running Out Of Bug Spray Is A Special Kind Of Torture<\/h2>\n

If you had to choose between being let out in the open Georgian air without bug spray at dusk and Chinese water torture, which would you choose? If you\u2019ve ever lived in Georgia, there\u2019s a high probability you would be the latter.<\/p>\n

11. Allergies Rest For No Georgian<\/h2>\n

The pollen count is so high down here, anyone with allergies are sure to see them hit an all-time high. The pollen count is so high in Georgia, in fact, people without allergies can prepare for\u2014BAM!\u2014allergies.<\/p>\n

12. Sport Teams By Any Other Name Aren\u2019t Welcome<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve got the Braves, Falcons, UGA, and Georgia Southern\u2019s. No one else matters.<\/p>\n

13. Georgians Don\u2019t HOP Anywhere<\/h2>\n

Pancakes? Please. Everyone in Georgia knows that Waffles are where it\u2019s at. And what better place than the Waffle House on its home turf?<\/p>\n

14. If You Don\u2019t Have Good Manners, Then Your Mama Didn\u2019t Raise You Right<\/h2>\n

Georgia is where you say please, thank you, and excuse me. You hold doors open for people and you mind your elders. Anything short of that and you\u2019ll expose yourself for the Yankee you must be.<\/p>\n

Who would leave Georgia when they have skies like this right above him? There are very few places that you can travel to that can offer more than Georgia can.<\/p>\n

16. Religious Intolerance Will All But Get You Expelled<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m not saying you have to be religious to live in Georgia. Plenty of people aren\u2019t. But plenty more are and if you can\u2019t be tolerant of that and be polite when people talk about it, then you\u2019re definitely in the wrong state.<\/p>\n

17. Georgians Don\u2019t Take Too Kindly To Chick-Fil-A Haters<\/h2>\n

They might be found from one end of the country to the other these days, but their chicken is still the best around and they\u2019re still closed on Sundays. The haters can stick to Burger King.<\/p>\n

18. Even The Trees In Georgia Do It Different<\/h2>\n

The trees are so cool in Georgia, there are even legends around them including the now-deceased Tree That Owns Itself and its offspring, The Son Of The Tree That Owns Itself.<\/p>\n

19. A Table Without Tabasco Sauce Is Incomplete In Georgia<\/h2>\n

Its not a meal without that spicy elixir from the gods making an appearance.<\/p>\n

20. Georgians Don\u2019t Want To Hear About How They Can\u2019t Drive In The Snow<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s true that Georgia all but closes down when the white stuff does eventually fall from the sky. But the rest of the country acts like they\u2019re the only state to have a pile-up due to bad weather. Get over it already.<\/p>\n

21. Anyone Who Doesn\u2019t Have Georgia On Their Mind<\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t live in Georgia and quickly develop a strong sense of Georgia pride, then you\u2019re probably better off in Florida<\/a>. But if you love it like the rest of Georgians do, then grab a chair on the front porch and a sweet tea and enjoy.
